Irish National League.

The honorable secretary of Nebraska
has issued call for Il state convention TO
be held in Lincoln March next. In re-
sponse to that call it is hoped that every
branch in Nebras ska and every atiiliating
society will have Il representative at said
convention. lrishmen of Nebraska de-
serve ccnsurc for their apparent inditier-
cnce, but we are convinced that the crisis
now impending will revive all their old
time devotion and patriotism. Let the
lrishmen of Omaha combine and consult
for the common cause. For this purpose
there will be meeting of the Irish Ma
tional league held in Cunningham hall
this afternoon at $50 o'clock y. m, at
which delegates will be chosen for the
state convention. Every man in Omaha
having Irish blood in his VEINS and poss-
eSsing desire to ameliorate the present
unfortunate condition of Ireland ought
to be present, il for no other purpose
than to show his sympathies for Il cause
which has produced so many heroes and
martyrs.
JOHN A. MCSuANE, President.

SOME COMING ORATORS.
Debate by the Creighton College Phil
nr,if Gnnipty

harmonic society.
In the debate which took place between
some of the chosen members of the
Creighton college Philharmonic society
last week il was once more made evident
that the professors of that institution do
not believe that education consists en-
trely of routine work. The subject
cho n for debate was one of the live
topics of the day and one which required
an immense amount of original thinking
by those who championed one side or the
other. MIR. Eugene Noon, previous TO
the debate, read carefully prepared
critical essay on Henry Georges theory,
and on this was the debate founded. Mr..
Z. Burke and Mr., II. Town contended
that the private ownership of land is uu-
Just, while MIR. j o. German and MIR j.
McCarville pleaded for the more conser-
vatiye and present method of ownership,
For some time past the more advanced
students of the college have been on the
qui vive of excitement as to the outcome
of the debate. IL was generally conceded
the sides were about equally divided as
to oratorical ability, and consequently
there was an unusual interest and n
large attendance.
Mr.. Burke opened the argument and
in doing so condemned in unsparng
terms and with sharp invective the pres
American land system. His opening
speech was well opposed by Mr.. o. Cor
man, wco was in turn attacked by Mr.. II.
Town and who, IN turn, was severely
criticised by his opponent, Mr.. McCar-
vile. Each of the four speakers had an
opportunity, in second speech, to de-
molish his opponent, and as each modern
Cicero resumed his seat amid the plaud
its of the audience, his manner indicated
that he was ut least satisfied with himself.
The debate lasted over two hours and
was one of the most sprightiy and inter
esting ever held in the college. During
the evening Mr.. W. Doran gave an orig
inal defamation on washington. 1t
was well written, pleasingly delivered
and warmly applnndcd.
